While people tend to associate high-end, stylish cases upon hearing the words “Cooler Master”, most don’t imminently think of their cooling segment even though that word is in the company name. Cooler Master has for years been quietly ch...

I touched on the word ‘excited’ earlier, or lack thereof. This is where the Cooler Master Hyper 212 sits at. It is a solid cooler with great acoustics but it brings little to the table to make me jump for joy. In all honesty I think the fact t...

Not all systems need a CPU cooler upgrade – for lowend, nonoverclocked Intel CPUs, for example, the stock cooler tends to manage fine. However, upgrading is often a cheap way to attain lower noise levels, healthier temperatures, or even just improved ae...

With its older heatsink design and slower spinning fan, the only real reason you'd opt for this cooler over the identically priced and better performing Hyper 212X is for the red LEDs in the fan. If you're running an overclocked processor, however, it's h...
